Commentary (टीका)
This verse begins a list of qualities and states of being that originate from Krishna, continued in the next verse. It encompasses the full spectrum of human experience — both positive qualities like wisdom and truth, and opposite states like fear and fearlessness. Krishna claims authorship of all mental and emotional states that beings experience.
